In other news, has anyone else noticed those weird digital pops and clicks that start happening at around 3:06 in "Cassandra Gemini: B. Plant A Nail In The Navel Stream"? I've always wondered if they were intentional or not. It certainly gives a feel of the very fabric of the song breaking apart, as the reverie of the jam gives way to the main Cassandra riff and the conclusion of the album.

Yes, and it makes me skip that part every time. I absolutely hate that noise, I love the music and what's going on but I can't focus because of all the random clicking.

The original poster inspired a conversation that he had no part in, which i found ironic. tBiG sounds like that OP, because it's supposed to. Buy it on Vinyl, and enjoy one of the best recordings ever.

my copy of tBiG (vinyl) is starting to wear out, it's actually kind of exciting. The guitar chorus melody on Metatron is almost completely inaudible. But what i was trying to say about the vinyl recordings is that there is no loudness war involved. Buy good music on vinyl. And stop using digital technology. It will never be better.

Why is it wearing out? Do you not take care of your records or what? Just curious cause I just bought TBIG yesterday and I love it

The most notable cut and paste in Cassandra is the end of Multiple Spouse Wounds and into Sarcophagi. That's always sounded kind of weird to me. Why didn't they fade it? It's just really abrupt and jarring. I like it though, just seems like the correct thing to do would be fade into Sarcophagi.

I like the abruptness of it. Takes you by surprise unlike the first time you hear it.

That's obviously done intentionally. I don't know why you think it seems obvious that they should have faded it – it's just an artistic decision, like everything else on the album.

I thought that the mastering was a bit better on Frances the Mute, but I have to agree it's nice having a dynamic range.. their albums are difficult to listen to but since everything is so compressed together there is still mystery in the sounds.. it's not all handed away.. its a bitter sweet for me.
